Problems with JNIConnector under Solaris/Netscape-Server 3.61

[Georg Schröder <we...@musikmedia.de>]

Hi,

I am very new to Tomcat and I have the following problem:

I installed Tomcat on my SUN (Solaris 2.5.1) and compiled the nsapi_redirector.so and the jni_connect.so. Everything is fine when Tomcat is running as standalone process: I can access the servlets and JSPs via the Netscape Server.

Then I tried to run Tomcat in the webserver process (of course I followed the instructions in the "In-Process HowTo" of Gal Shachor, which is a little bit difficult because I don't use NT, so I'am not sure if everthing is correct in my conf-files). When I start Tomcat I get the following Error:

....

Context log: path="/test" Add context
XmlMapper: pop Context org.apache.tomcat.core.Context: Ctx(/test,webapps/test)
